Hi All,
My Passport Wireless 2Tb has lost all functions except when connected to my laptop via the USB. In this instance, I have access to all files as a mapped drive.
As soon as I detatch it from the laptop, the unit goes dead. I am unable to turn it on using the buttons and there is no WiFi, in fact, no lights at all. This means I can no longer Reset using the buttons or use the Wireless function or access the Dashboard online.
Does anyone know if there is a way to revive full functionality?
Many thanks,
M
Sounds like a worn out battery; has it been left discharged for a long time?
Hard to revive if it won’t charge at all, however, the battery can be replaced if you have the skills and can find a dealer. The forum has had threads on the issue before: My passport wireless 2T, battery bloated
Thanks ragnarok,
Yes, there was a recent period where the unit was left uncharged for some time. Now that you mention this, it seems logical. I’ll see what i can find regarding replacing the battery and give that a go.
